About Dog Agility

(taken from
Wikipedia)

Dog agility is a dog sport in which a handler directs a dog through
an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy. Dogs run
off-leash with no food or toys as incentives, and the handler can touch
neither dog nor obstacles. Consequently the handler's controls are
limited to voice, movement, and various body signals, requiring
exceptional training of the animal and coordination of the handler.

In its simplest form, an agility course consists of a set of standard
obstacles laid out by a judge in a design of his or her own choosing in
an area of a specified size. The surface may be of grass, Astro Turf,
rubber, or special matting. Depending on the type of competition, the
obstacles may be marked with numbers indicating the order in which they
must be completed.

Courses are complicated enough that a dog could not complete them
correctly without human direction. In competition, the handler must
assess the course, decide on handling strategies, and direct the dog
through the course, with precision and speed equally important. Many
strategies exist to compensate for the inherent difference in human and
dog speeds and the strengths and weaknesses of the various dogs and
handlers.

All breeds and sizes of dogs can compete in competitions.

There many organisations governing Agility shows in the UK for
example Kennel Club, BAA and UKA.
